Landing page captured for the 2026-10-09 issue.
For
Massachusetts residents, municipal staff, and builders
Worth noticing
The homepage says answers cite the exact section and lists charters, bylaws, ordinances, zoning codes, and building codes as source documents.

Field notes

The described workflow starts with a city uploading a PDF, then lets residents, staff, or builders ask questions in plain language. The listed source material goes beyond zoning to include charters, general bylaws, subdivision regulations, and building codes. The homepage says highlighted Massachusetts towns already have codes loaded, though the town map in the extracted page was still showing a loading message.
